Banks told the Press Association: "I was very upset to hear Gary Neville talking about how the players were disgusted with him (De Gea), how they were looking at him, after he hadn't punched the ball quite clear enough.

"I thought to myself, 'hang on a minute, it's not just the goalkeeper that makes mistakes, everybody makes mistakes in football matches'.

"I couldn't quite believe that, because if anything he would've liked a bit of a lift: 'come on, get your head up'.

"I found that a bit strange that he (Neville) was saying they'd go back in the dressing room and give him a telling off."
